The cigars to stay away from

[King Catfish]

Well, I tried the Manolo Factory Overruns, and I would not recommend them. Weak taste, poor construction.

I also got some Roly Torpedos, and love them. For the price they are great cheapies.

Good deal! Glad you like them. Like I said, you'll have a hard time finding a better cigar at the same price. Other decent cheaper cigars are the Cuban Crafters Don Kiki line. I prefer either the Green label Torpedo, or the Brown label Figurado. The Red labels taste almost exactly like the Green to me, only a bit more bitter. You can get them for less than $40 bucks a box/bundle.

The Salazar Bros. smokes they sell are quite good, but far from cheap. The flavor profiles of the ones I smoked were similar to some ISOM sticks I've had. Box pressed, they were smooth and mild bodied, with rich copious smoke, and an unusually strong nicotene kick. These sticks were a couple years back though, and cigars change with every batch. As with all opinions, YMMV.

Yes, I will be trying the Don Kiki Figurados at some point. Looks like an interesting cheap smoke.

Yep! Some of those listed so far have my interest. 1 advantage I have is that I get to see all the cigars before putting my list together.

Figured I would resurrect this thread...

Smoked a Kuba Deluxe from Acid today, against my better knowledge. Should say I smoked about a third of one, really... I was drinking really sweet tea with my dinner while I was at the B&M and had a bunch of tea left, so I wanted to get a cigar that would go along with it, and Kuba popped in my head... Bad idea. Really. Bad. Idea.

First off, the cigar was ~10$ at my B&M, not sure how that compares to other prices, but for 10$ I expected delicious, sweet tobacco. I got a sugar stick that lost all flavor after about twenty minutes. I couldn't even taste the sweetness, the tobacco, anything. It lighted well enough (after I had watched a pompous lawyer seemingly ruin a zino platinum... shoved the head right into a torch flavor and just puffed away until the whole head was glowing red hot. Wanted to hurt him ) although after the light there was very little smoke. Had an easy draw, but it just never produced a whole lot of smoke, and what it did produce wasn't worth smoking--much less 10$.

it was just... awful. I think this will be my one and only venture into the Acid line.

I've enjoyed a couple of the CAO flavours, though. Specifically, Eileen's Dream and Moontrance. I was a bit let down by the Bella Vanilla, although I smoked it rather quickly. It seemed as if most of the taste was on the wrapper and you would only really taste vanilla by licking your lips after they had been on the wrapper. Eileen's Dream and Moontrance have both been tasty on the lips and had plenty of tasty smoke, so I would go to those if I was to go back to flavored cigars.

Sorry I ever doubted the masters

Yep. The same with the Acid Blondie.
